As an animation, Bakemonogatari has a simple, clean art style. But the guest illustrations for the series are anything but simple! So, it's great to see that °Tens took on a more complex illustration and made it his own with vector gradients so fine at points it more resembles painting that vectoring. Do have a look at this beautiful wallpaper!

Thanks for the photos. Yeah, that Pixiv book is nicer than we thought :D Looks like it has fullpage and half page illustrations.
I'm so happy others have decided to post in this thread :DD |(n_n)| emoticon

After looking through the Pantsu book I can say it is definitely not worth purchasing. I was wrong in that it hardly has any full illustrations. Oh well! That'll teach me to stick a random book onto the tail end of an order on a whim.

Got the October edition of Dengeki Moeoh today. Featured artists were Shunsaku Tomose and Kurehito Misaki. The sealed adult section's theme was summer and swimsuits (or lack thereof). It came with a companion artbook/comic whose theme was girls doing naughty things with ice cream/popcicles. Some pics slightly ecchi!

Looks pretty nice. I'm kinda thinking about getting it. I dunno if I'm going to continue collecting Dengeki Moeoh, Megami Creators, or Etsu :s They are pretty thick... I have no room in my room for more stuff XD

Looks like we've all had our share of random book pick turning out to be busts XD

Ooh, the Kurehito Misaki section almost makes that Dengeki Moeh worth getting, if I hadn't already over-spent on Comiket ~.~ But if it sticks around long enough I'll pick it up ;3

Aww, that's a shame about the Pantsu book, but this is one of those 'you never know until you try' situations and believe me, I've had more disappointments from books like that than I care to mention ;_;

I just got the Jun Mochizuki artbook ~odds and ends~ along with a gundam artbook - Into the Sky. Into the Sky was a bit more expensive than the pandora hearts artbook, but the content is really sub-par compared to the pandora hearts book. I didn't even bother taking pics of the gundam one since my opinion of it is pretty low. But here are some pics from the pandora hearts one :D

I can't believe there was so much extra art for the series XD That's a lot more than we ever see from the covers and color pages of the manga...

Awww... I really hate when that happens. I had a couple of rolled posters really get flattened once and the wrinkles never went away :| emoticon

Gorgeous haul :D Did you manage to get Colorful Pop 1-6 all from the same seller, or store? Also, what are the two Touhou books next to Clannad and how are they inside?

Thanks :) Fortunately, the Tinkle poster still looks good hanging up using some poster stickies. Can't tell it's wrinkled at all.

In regard to Colorful Pop, I got 1-6 from the same seller and 7 from a different one. 1-6 were used, but in perfect condition.

The Touhou book just to the left of Clannad goes with the Touhou Project Tribute Arts limited edition set. It's ~40 pages, black and white and seems like it's for select artists to advertise and/or post sketches/words of thanks/etc. See below...

The book to the left of that is the Pixiv Touhou book. Much like the Pixiv Yearbook it's sort of a "best of" Touhou catalog from Pixiv sorted by character. So while the artwork is quality, there are alot of smaller images rather than half/full spreads.

Oh! I didn't hear about the Pixiv Touhou book. Can you take a couple of photos or link some samples? :3

I'm always looking for sets of doujin from the same seller, otherwise it gets so expensive in auction.
